ENEN+ Project entitled »Attract, Retain and Develop New Nuclear Talents Beyond Academic Curricula« belongs to the portfolio of EURATOM Horizon 2020 projects. The main purpose of ENEN + is to contribute to the revitalization of the interests of younger generations for occupations in the nuclear sector. For this purpose, the following activities are planned:

Attract new talents for the nuclear professions.

Develop new talents beyond academic curricula.

Retain more new talents in nuclear professions through enhanced mentoring and mobility support.

Include nuclear stakeholders in the European Community and abroad.

A revitalized interest in nuclear professions through the establishment of a mobility fund and the voluntary accreditation of nuclear education and training.

The 22 partners of the ENEN + project will focus mainly on professions and experts in the fields of nuclear technology and safety, the disposal of radioactive waste, radiation protection and nuclear applications in medicine. Among the partners are European universities and research institutes, industry (Westinghouse, Tecnatom, EDF) and international organizations (ENS, FORATOM, IAEA, NUGENIA, EFOMP), and from Slovenia the Jožef Stefan Institute and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Ljubljana. The project is coordinated by ENEN, led by prof. dr. Leon Cizelj.

The kick-off meeting of the ENEN+ project took place at the premises of the European Commission in Brussels from October 2nd to October 3rd 2017. At the meeting, the leaders of individual work packages and tasks presented the planned activities and discussed them with their partners. The kick-off meeting was attended by dr. Matjaž Leskovar and prof. dr. Leon Cizelj from the Reactor Engineering Division of Jožef Stefan Institute.

The next day was the meeting of the board of directors of ENEN, president of which is prof. dr. Leon Cizelj.
